1 H ow long, O Lord ? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 H ow long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3 C onsider and hear me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, Lest I sleep the sleep of death;

4 L est my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 B ut I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

6 I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
